About

Me After Investing refers to a series of jokes and memes related to the WallStreetBets GameStop Short Squeeze, expressing mock reactions to making potentially catastrophic or insignificant investments with confidence and glee.

Origin

In January 2021, due to a campaign by users in the /r/WallStreetBets subreddit, the Gamestop stock experienced a massive surge in price, rising from $17 to over $500. The hype resulted in GameStop (GME) becoming of the most traded stocks on Wall Street that month, with a massive number of retail investors buying the stock in an attempt to force hedge funds betting against it into large losses.

Following the surge, on January 25th, Twitter user @ImJoshuaBacon posted a GIF from the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.

Spread

The meme did not begin spreading in earnest until January 27th, 2020, when Twitter user @55mmbae posted a version of the same scene from The Wolf of Wall Street and the caption "Me investing my lil $15 in some stock rn." The post received more than 217,000 likes and 30,000 retweets in less than one week (shown below).

Over the next week, others shared variations of the meme on Twitter. Twitter[1] user @americanamemes, for example, tweeted another scene from the film, adding a joke about investing in AMC theaters. The post received more than 1,000 likes and 100 retweets in less than one week (shown below, left). Twitter[2] user @StarrburyMike captioned a photo of a person at an investment terminal with, "Me after investing $25 in AMC." THe tweet received more than 5,600 likes and 700 retweets in less than one week (shown below, center). The verified Twitter[3] for the television series Schitt's Creek posted a screenshot from the show with the subtitle "I feel like I'm a Wolf of Wall Street." The post received more than 11,000 likes and 1,000 retweets in less than one week (shown below, right).

On January 28th, 2020, the website StayHipp[4] published an article on the meme.
